Just wanted to say THANK YOU for your videos. I was able to get an Epson SC-P6000 and followed your steps for converting it. Some steps were not needed but thankful that I got to see them just in case. You're awesome and GOD BLESS YOU!!
Hi, I'm trying to buy a new Epson p6000 but in some places I could read about that this model is locked, is that true? Did you buy your printer new or used? Hope you can answer, thanks. 🙏🏻
@@sandsblue1705 I bought mine used, so with the firmware in it, I was able to reset the cartridges and waste tank (but for a limited time). You can only reset the ink cartridges 10 times each. The waste tanks, about 3 times each. So I was able to find my self a 7900 with unlimited resets. But I do still have my P6000 as a back up or job overload. Love running both side by side.
I want to say thank you for showing us the reverse head flush for the white ink. (On the L1800) that is a game changer. I have had the printer for months and have not seen that technique anywhere else.
have you experienced any ink starvation, it's happening on the cyan ink for me, i can put it on andy channel and it happens?, is it a issue with the rip or ink do you recon?
You won't be able to reset the chips after a finite number of times, due to Epson's new technology. There aren't any ARC chips that work with that model printer, since the main board registers the serials of each chipset that you use.
Do you know someone in the Austin area who works on the 7890. I have the fatal error code 1a39. They say it’s probably the print head but could be the mother board. I need someone to test the motherboard for me.
I'm sorry for the super late reply. When the printer throws the 1a39 code, it's usually the printhead. I even had an Epson technician tell me that in all his years of servicing Epsons, he's never seen 1a39 error where the printhead wasn't solely the culprit.
They are becoming harder to come by, but you can search on FB Marketplace or apps like OfferUp. I have an Epson Tech that sources and refurbishes them for me, before we convert them, now.
I've learned a lot since then, and I will have an updated video uploaded to the channel, soon. You don't have to tape the print track down, and I've found that double matte film was the solution to the head strikes, instead of using glossy film. You only need two channels of white, instead of four. The stylus pro series printers are workhorses, if you use quality inks and maintain them properly.
The p6000 is a different animal. While it looks the same, the chips have a finite number of times that they be reset. You'll also need the European version of the 6000 in order to convert it, as there isn't a working chipset for the other versions.
This will happen, no matter which RIP software you use. The best way to combat this (somewhat), would be to clip to artboard, when saving your artwork, so that the print starts at the absolute top edge of your design. you will always lose at least 3" of film with each print. These printers were designed to print for long durations of time, so the best way to save film would actually be to save one large document, with as many designs as you can fit at a time. I also use AcroRip 10.5
I don't recommend people buy the p6000, because it has new tech, that registers each time a cartridge is reset and it will eventually lock you out of the printer, unless you use a chip set with different serials. I'm sure they will come up with a decoder at some point, but we aren't there yet---the printer is just so new.
Have you figured out a good paper margin setting for the 7890. Mine wastes so much film at the beginning of the print. Right now I'm using up the rest of the 13x19 film I have.
The key is using your design software to clip to artboard. this will ensure that there is no extra space above your design, before it is sent through the RIP software.
Hola, feliz cumpleaños jejeje, excelente video, gracias por compartir. No se si hablas español, sino lo pongo en ingles, me estoy por comprar una impresora sc p6000 para convertirla en dtf, vos podrías ayudarme con algunas consultas? Ya sea vía mail o WhatsApp?
With the P6000, it is the exact same process, as that model replaced the 7890. The only issue would be finding a way to reset the chips and bypass the serial registration of each cart, after the printer recognizes the use count. I would search the groups on Facebook and see if anyone has found a workaround, for this. You also have to make sure the carts do not fall below 30 percent capacity or the chips will be unusable.
Sorry for another reach out also wanted to find out if you had a link for the waste tank sponges you got did a search but couldn't find them, thank you very much.
I need to update the description; thank you. I don't want to promote the sponges because they aren't very great, in terms of absorbing the ink. What happens is, the ink seeps directly through the sponge; to the bottom. I am testing these new felt pads. and I will be sharing my experience with these replacements, soon. www.ebay.com/itm/224279205942
Felt pads are lot better, they absorb a lot more, and for emergencies you can always use lady pads (tampons)as well while you wait for your order to be delivered to you.
@@elegant_edits I am interested in purchasing a machine i just dont know which but perhaps the one like yours how can we reach each other outside of the chat and where are you located would like to for sure link up.
I bought it from a local seller. We are actually about to start doing a lot of work, together. I know he has 5 other printers that he would like me to convert, so I'll be filming the conversions and selling those printers for him. I will also have my own brand of printers in, and ready to sell, by April/May.
I'm not sure about the 9900, but where I would start would be searching the Facebook groups, to see if anyone has found out which driver to use. The Rip software has to support the printer or it's a no-go.
Hi there I found these videos very useful, was wondering if you ever got a service call error 00010014 when I was doing the flush with the cleaner half way thru it popped up that error code and I can't find any resources to get rid of it. Thank you in advance look forward to hearing back to you.
Hi, and thanks for watching my videos. I haven't actually encountered that sort of error, but it might be listed in the service manual. Please send me an email and I can forward you a .pdf of the service manual; that may help steer you in the right direction. info@eleganteditsco.com
Yes. I don't know how it crossed the two responses, when I typed everything. Epson's new technology in the p6000 series limits all models to 21 resets for each serial number, which gets registered by the printer after each use. The printer will require you to use an ARC chip with a different serial number than what has already been logged, after the 21 resets. There isn't a known fix, as of yet.
@@elegant_edits So we are able to reset the same chip 21 times, after that just get another one with another serial number and reset it 21 times again? If so, after the 21 resets, does the printer lets you know the chip no longer works or does it lock the system down where you can't even use the printer? Hope it makes sense.
@@printojr it will let you know. The only issue you may run into is that you cannot control the chipset that the distributor will send to you. You may be able to contact them; letting them know which serials you already have. I have been telling people to avoid the p6000 and up, for this reason. They may come up with a workaround for this soon, so I wouldn't necessarily discourage you, either.
@@elegant_edits Two things: First I know what you mean, and I was able to get my first order through InkjetMall thanks to you, which they offer 10 different serial numbers. So that should give me about 210 resets for now, crossed my fingers everything goes well and someone comes out with another solution. Secondly, I've heard European/China version printers don't have the restriction, only the USA version. According to my serial number, my P6000 is from Europe made in China. Again, will keep my fingers crossed.
There are a lot of factors at play, in terms of your print speed. It could have been the resolution you chose; the size of each design; how the files were prepared; whether you chose unidirectional or bidirectional etc. The printer isn't slow, if all these things are done correctly.

Please Can you point me to the video
@@Ikegwegbe He has a video on his channel named: Reviving a DTF printer after 7 days… he explains the process around the 8:00 minute mark.
Happy belated birthday. Thanks for your videos.

What is the acro rip colour arrangement on Epson Surecolor P7000
Can the 7900 be used and is it the same conversion as the 7890?
Happy Birthday and thanks for the knowledge!

What is the color setup on acro rip 10.5 for Epson 7890 dtf printer
Thank you. Happy birthday 🎊
I'm looking at a Epson Pro 7900 can i convert that too as DTF ????
Oh! Happy birthday! Sorry for the late blessing!
Happy birthday hope you have a great one
have you experienced any ink starvation, it's happening on the cyan ink for me, i can put it on andy channel and it happens?, is it a issue with the rip or ink do you recon?
Thanks! Motivational!!
Thanks for the support!
Happy Birthday Bro.. great video

Hi, thank you for the video, can i use the same method too convert an epson 7800?
Is this a US Version or Asian Version?
Happy belated birthday to you sir
Can I do this with my sc7000???
You won't be able to reset the chips after a finite number of times, due to Epson's new technology. There aren't any ARC chips that work with that model printer, since the main board registers the serials of each chipset that you use.
I can't find the 7890... is there any other 24" model that can work?
Any model from the 7800 or 9800 series will be the same method, for conversion. Just make sure your RIP software will support that model.
Also how much should we spend on a 7890?
It would depend on whether the printer is in good shape or if it will need repairs. I've seen them go for as little as $400 and as much as $1500.
Do you know someone in the Austin area who works on the 7890. I have the fatal error code 1a39. They say it’s probably the print head but could be the mother board. I need someone to test the motherboard for me.

Can I do this to a 7800 I’m reading it’s possible
Yes, definitely.
how fast will this print a full 12x12 image?
it can print two side-by-side, 12x12" images in less than two mins. The printer is definitely a workhorse.
Where did you buy yours at or where can I get one now?
They are becoming harder to come by, but you can search on FB Marketplace or apps like OfferUp. I have an Epson Tech that sources and refurbishes them for me, before we convert them, now.
Happy birthday
How did it work out for you running this printer?

which rip software are you using with your 7890? I use acrorip 10.5 I loose alot of header & footer space on my film.

Does Epson make a DTF printer?
No, they don't. It took them 5 years to release a DTG printer, so my guess is that they will be behind the curve on DTF, also
This printer have Rollers ?
this printer uses a vacuum to help guide the film, through the printer. It does have rollers, but you do not have to remove them
